This is the way the world ends; Not with a bang but a whimper

By coffeesp00ns

Another t.s. eliot quote.

So there’s that whole thing about how the world could explode or disappear or something.  Look it up on cnn or your preferred news source, if you don’t believe me.  The button in Europe could cause black holes, blah blah blah.

Now, that pisses me off. I mean, really, that would suck. And not suck in the “I still have to say sorry to grandpa, and I still have to climb K12 and I have to start a charity” sort of way.

Things are good right now. I’m having my fair share of problems and stresses and all that. Yes. And, yes I wish some things were easier.

But, I will say this. Things are good now.

I just bought a house. It’s fairly clean. I have a cat. She’s pretty normal some of the time.

My job is okay (although I was annoyed at first today–story for another time),  most of the time. I like what I do.  Parts of today were pretty awesome.  Hugs (side) from kids who don’t know you all that well is pretty awesome.  I love summers.

I have amazing friends. I’m making more. I’m making progress in things that I wanted to make progress in. I’m learning how to make progress in other areas of life. I read a bunch this summer. I learned to knit socks. I joined a CSA. I love cooking. I love wine. I’m taking steps. I’m doing all these cool things.

It would really just suck if the world ended tomorrow.

I’m not ready for that yet.

    To be honest.. I would be dissapointed even the world just popped out of existance. But not because the world had ended. But that it had ended in such a pathetic way.

    A Zombie Invasion.. that is how the world will.. sorry.. should.. end.

    I had a handful of students who were genuinely distressed about the world ending today. I guess because adolescent angst isn’t distressing enough without adding the apocalypse to the mix?

    I like this post. Funny how silly things like the impending end of days can remind you to be grateful for the good stuff in life. :)
